never more

no cruelty no hatred no fear
not even a single tear or a pale smile
will be worth in a heart of crystal

no passion no bleeding fire
not even a sign of desire
never a trace of delight or despair on an eyesight
perhaps a message of  best regards left
in absent written words

no promises no confidences
not even true lies said in a confident voice
no giving-ups  no starting-overs
no more expectations
memories no more
perhaps a pair of broken wings

no more a wishful breathing
oh never more
a slight quiver in this corpse
never
